Broadcast Drive

Broadcast Drive is a in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong. The road is notable as having played host to five broadcasting outlets in Hong Kong at one point in the 1970s, and the hill on which the road is located was known as ''Ng Toi Shan'' during that time. The five broadcasters were:

*Radio Television Hong Kong , whose headquarters was inaugurated in 1969
*Commercial Radio Hong Kong
*Television Broadcasts Limited
*Rediffusion Television , later renamed Asia Television Limited ; and
*Commercial Television

The area became known as ''Four-station Hill'' in 1978 following Commercial Television's collapse. Its studio building was acquired by RTHK for its television unit, and was reopened as Television House in 1986.

TVB moved its operations to the Clearwater Bay TV City in 1992, and ATV moved to Tai Po in 2007, leaving RTHK and CRHK the only remaining broadcasters on the road. RTHK has announced plans to move its operations to Tseung Kwan O within the next few years. The reason for the departure of broadcast stations is partly due to the rising value of the land occupied and stations cashing in the rise in value.

The area is also a well known high end residential neighborhood, and is home to those mainly from professional and upper middle class backgrounds.
